mircea_popescu: besides, the web is something that happens in curl, not a browser.
mircea_popescu: i never trusted a browser.
asciilifeform: why would you agree to use a system with master keys ?
asciilifeform: fromphuctor: is it so hard to grasp that the very ~concept~ of a ca is broken ?
mircea_popescu: so then fromphuctor : the dudes that made that aren't in the wot ; consequently, it's a scam.
fromphuctor: Let’s Encrypt is a new Certificate Authority: It’s free, automated, and open.
asciilifeform: speaking of which, ( asciilifeform is winding up last week in rupturefarms, is there still) i met for i think first time a... 'trans' folk (he? she? zhe?)
mircea_popescu: imo this entire "can only play if the game's about me" is very much retardo-puritan nonsense, of the same ilk as "everything's a technologee and i shall better my lyf".
asciilifeform: if you're a gurl
asciilifeform: aha. forgoing the nagant is quite a presumptious thing. 'i have somethng more to say in the world!1111'
mircea_popescu: well the rome where term was ~29 years and they got land at the outskirts and a local slavegirl was post marian reform.
mircea_popescu: the roman version was pretty reasonable, about the same term then get land and an orc girl for a slave.
asciilifeform: at any rate ~temporary~ soldiering is quite a modern thing - old ru conscription was for 25y...
asciilifeform: as in, 'no you will never buy a chain of restaurant, plow the field and make babies'
mircea_popescu: $google "regele pe cind mergea cu calul la pas, o castana hahaha i-a cazut in cap"
mircea_popescu: it's a harmless thing for 14yos to engage in, and the basis of things like business tycoon games, a large chunk of what drives lego etc.
mircea_popescu: fwiw, young males that aren't entirely dumb go almost universally through this phase of "fantasy busienss" where they keep doing various coups in their heads, start a carwash then buy a shoestore with the proceeds then trade that in for a chain fo restaurants etc etc etc. ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: if only there was a way to sell their genius to patton for roubles or somesuch, they could have bought the whole russian stock exchange back before it was worth anything.
mircea_popescu: in a functional market at least.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform explain "this". that it's the sad beach where every drop-out, burn-out, shithead who fails to understand that "running out of money" means you fail, that dropping out means you fail ends up shipwrecked on ? a sort of africa of the spirit, where you find they born of slave mothers and too weak, useless and unimportant to leave ; and they borne by free women who were too weak, useless and outright dumb to hold the

asciilifeform: ? Just a code monkey.'
asciilifeform: 'Here’s a bit of background on me: My education is in business. I have a BS in MIS and almost finished my MS but ran out of money. I’ve got more business education than most of the MBAs out there, and I have a nearly formal education in software development, modeling, statistical analysis, and sociology. I’ve done it all, but what does the slick talking shit head car sales MBA loser think I am
mircea_popescu: hopefully a guy by the name Bursuc (badger, ro) gets the job,
mircea_popescu: discussed as a joke at first with horrified girls, maybe eventually edged towards but not as a rule. what's the rush and what's the drive anyway.
mircea_popescu: last night while i was probing a butt with my own probiscus outdoors, a butterfly landed on it, and probed it with his own. prolly because sweat's so yummy to butterflies.
mircea_popescu: being part of a sovereign that doesn't recognize others ; and has the tank divisions, means that you don't need "passports".
asciilifeform: in my eye going as part of a migrant wave is 'cheating' but.. sure.
mircea_popescu: eh. you have the strange ideas of a petit bourgeois that never went past rouen.
mircea_popescu: as a guy you'll be fine.
asciilifeform: and i'd rather make landfall in antarctica than africa. but that's quite a personal preference.
mircea_popescu: similarly courts won't count emancipation unless you're actually prepared to be a state.
asciilifeform for instance could 'renounce' 10 times every morning before breakfast and nobody would give a shit
asciilifeform: one imho interesting quirk of international convention is that most countries will not 'count' your renunciation if you don't have a spare citizenship somewhere else
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: He renounced his citizenship and made a fuss over not getting a visa once
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: or is that no longer a thing (as i and many others predicted)
BingoBoingo: In other news it looks like Ver barred himself from the US again. Put a "casino" on his webshite nao. Claims Curaçao license.
asciilifeform: from whence comes the suspicion that it was a chick?
mircea_popescu: talking of historical "contacts" (ie, derps accidentally caught in bitcoin historically), i'm still kinda curious re obsi. i suspect was a rather fuckable chick.
mircea_popescu: and he trusts but verifies his contacts through a well oiled process of...
mircea_popescu: da fuck, every dude with a twitter and a github has "contacts" nao ? what is this, casablanca for the masses ?
asciilifeform: there is a common pattern, as ben_vulpes observed
mircea_popescu: somehow wot:nonperson has a hard time getting out of this mindset where he may actually contribute politically.
davout: i enjoyed his "learn C the hard way" and tried to pay him some btc for it a good while ago, didn't really catch as far as i remember
a111: Logged on 2016-05-11 16:34 mircea_popescu: danielpbarron if you don't mind drop a note @lzsthw with a link here, tell him he can have 0.1 btc if he shows up.
ben_vulpes: it fires up a new webkit foe every team
trinque: asciilifeform: can do; drop me a gpg-gram with db info?
mircea_popescu: actually... consider giving someone with a bot sql access ? as per teh earlier discussions with this ?
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron if you don't mind drop a note @lzsthw with a link here, tell him he can have 0.1 btc if he shows up. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: annoyingly enough, there's a half dozen keys for zed a shaw from 1998-2002 ; all 1kb, from arizona state onwards.
trinque: ben_vulpes: gawd, I remember that pain. setting resource limits that triggered a restart was just "how it's done" on rails
asciilifeform: 'Before Mongrel I was building kick ass software for the NYC Dept. of Correction with a tiny team. We were doing innovative stuff like REST XML feeds of prisoner releases and RSS of prisoner transfers. It was fun, I was in charge, and things were pretty good.
ben_vulpes: http://web.archive.org/web/20080103072111/http://www.zedshaw.com/rants/rails_is_a_ghetto.html
ben_vulpes: $google "rails is a ghetto"
asciilifeform: iirc, a programmer-humourist sort
mod6: So got a few things left.
mod6: On the otherhand, there isn't a legend yet. Green nodes = Saga tickes, Red nodes = Defect tickets.
mircea_popescu: heh. and if one day a comet with a heart of radium goes by, we'll know in the keys.
asciilifeform: and at any rate, for a reasonably low bit rate, can use backgroumd.
asciilifeform realized that the perfect rng is in fact... a spinthariscope.
BingoBoingo: Ebay's a hell of a drug
mircea_popescu: i suppose you can just do it in an emergency sort of set-up, but really it's like pinching asses in the subway. best to be kept at a minimum.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo danielpbarron has a point ; editing people's articles is a very iffy thing, best to discuss it with them prior to publication if it's anything more than a word or such. << ok
mircea_popescu: there isn't a pill for everything.
mircea_popescu: it's not a pill, even. "how can i lose weight while eating 5-6k calories a day ???" "you can't. stop eating." "hurr durr."
mircea_popescu: such a thing as a "small firm" may not exist in an environment where such a thingas "harassment" exists.
asciilifeform: thing is, the boss in the link is not a complete idiot, so much as the mere fact of a 'harassment' suit can sink a small firm.
mircea_popescu: punkman the chick was the adult at the table, from what can be seen. the "boss" is a pimply imbecile who has no business in business.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo danielpbarron has a point ; editing people's articles is a very iffy thing, best to discuss it with them prior to publication if it's anything more than a word or such.
asciilifeform: my current understanding is that it is nearly certain that a summer intern has been sent to write a usg c-s.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly, the decade intervening has meanwhile totally fucked them. they're moving off ecc now in a hurry, and their dilemma is "go back to rsa or beg alf for c-s."
mircea_popescu: also i wanna know what the fuck irl name "milfseriously" has, just in case he shows up at any social event and isn't there as a toilet slave.
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: how is http://qntra.net/2016/05/a-form-of-bitbet-online-again/
danielpbarron: and yes i probably could have mentioned that znort is in WoT but znort never talks here, so it's a toss up. Chat more, get more mentions. Don't chat, get forgotten
danielpbarron: BingoBoingo, I don't mind that you add words to my articles, especially when new info comes out after i have submitted it (like a third bet) but please don't add in a way that breaks the flow. The point I made in regard to the ethereum bet is hard to follow with the trump bet listed right before it

asciilifeform: e. People were stunned. In those days the NSA representatives at standards meetings would sit quietly and hardly say a word. No one had expected such a direct and unambiguous statement from the NSA. The ECC standards were approved.'
asciilifeform: 'The nontechnical industry representatives on the ANSI committee were impressed by the RSA argument. As the heated debate continued, the NSA representative left to make a phone call. When he returned, he announced that he was authorized to state that the NSA believed that ECC had sufficient security to be used for secure communications among all U.S. government agencies, including the Federal Reserv
asciilifeform: 'The first time the NSA publicly and decisively gave support to ECC occurred at a meeting of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in December 1995. The backers of RSA at the meeting were casting doubt on the safety of ECC-based protocols; in the mid-1990s a page called “ECC Central” on the RSA website carried statements by leading personalities in cryptography that characterized ECC

mircea_popescu: nevertheless, moldavia is still a shithole. always was a shithole.
mircea_popescu: not even any man specifically, manhood as a transcendental superiority. visible in how seventeen year olds behave in public to a larger degree than the insolence of anglos is visible ; visible throughout.

mircea_popescu: if the fucking chopper pilot needed a lifesized model to land his bird...
mircea_popescu: "accurate" in this context does not mean "geometrically identical to rando tourist with a camera", but "of such configuration all scripted scenes can be filmed without visible difference". you can fold it, which is what they did. burbank does the exact fucking thing all the time.
mircea_popescu: derps never been on a movie set.
asciilifeform: aha, but who gives a fuck
mircea_popescu: it's a typical behaviour of the weak (which is how women end up so ensconced in the general aspic of stupid womanhood), that's veheheeerily carefully cultivated by socialist/female society.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-09 22:27 mircea_popescu: as i age i'm simply rediscovering what i knew as a nine year old, which is, that i really can't stand "smart kids".
